The best website content MUST be comprised of useful, credible, friendly and original material. These four components, when combined, can help bring your website the traffic you need. Customers want content that teaches them something new, answers a question and/or helps them make a buying decision. By being useful, you are building trust and goodwill, both of which influence whether people will buy from you. Your customers want credible information – content they can trust. You will become credible by continually producing useful and original content. In the meantime, use your “About Us” page to establish initial credibility. That page is extremely vital for prospective clients who are interested in your business but want to know a little more about your history and what credibility you have earned in the industry you’re in. The proper balance of content on this page will either make the prospective client turn into a customer or make the individual turn back and click on another website from the search engine results. Even if a topic is covered elsewhere, if it is relevant to your customers, create some sort of original content about it. This makes your site a one stop source of information – and a great way to drive continual traffic. To help make a topic more original, give your own unique insights and thoughts on it. Share your opinions and express your concerns/thoughts on the matter. Discuss and review other posts on the topic (also known as content curation). Lastly, your content must be friendly – to both people and search engines. Writing in a “forced” way just to please search engines...

LinkedIn is the most popular online professional networking platform today. It has more than 200 million registered users worldwide. LinkedIn allows you the option to showcase your professionally written resume by MYiNK Services and allow administrative professionals in the field you are interested in take a look and connect with you almost immediately – for free!

We recommend a head-shot which will automatically showcase you as a professional to those searching. You want to stay as far away as possible from any selfies and family vacation pictures where you can’t be seen up close. You have to remember that with LinkedIn, you have to maintain a professional and polished look – personal social media along with selfies should be on FaceBook and Instagram only. This doesn’t mean your profile has to be boring, you can have several elements on LinkedIn reflect who you are – we’ll show you how in the next few points. Professional Experience and Education: You shouldn’t write out your entire resume word for word – write about your current and previous positions and include a few bullet points for each experience. Some LinkedIn users drown their profile with twenty bullet points of their job experiences and it automatically takes away from the balance a professional profile should possess. Once you’re done with that...

If you don’t currently have an e-mail list, don’t worry. You can begin to go through your e-mails (outbox/inbox) and save the existing ones in an Excel Spreadsheet or on a document file. In your store you can begin with showcasing a printed paper with your company logo, on a clipboard perhaps, asking for a name and e-mail.

Other times, people aren’t confident in answering questions about themselves within seconds of being asked a question – knowing a potential job is on the line. Here are 10 questions to expect at your next job interview. Feel free to write down the list and master answering each with confidence. Even if the questions won’t be exactly the same, you’ll have a better idea how to answer them.
